13 reasons why — READ — THE OPINIONATED

My Bullies Made Me Better... But Not Before They Made Me Bitter.

I just finished binge-watching Netflix's 13 Reasons Why and I would be lying if I said it didn't trigger me.

However, for me, it wasn't high school that was a literal nightmare -- it was middle school. Guys were mean. Girls were even worse. Kids were cruel. I can still name them all, and I wonder sometimes if they knew what kind of impact they had. Certain incidents still remain vivid in my mind, to this day, over 15 years later.

For me, the worst of the bullying didn't hit until sixth grade. For some reason, that year was a living hell.

FIND: Life-Changing Cheek Color

As big of fans we are of GLOSSIER, we have to admit -- we've been a bit hesitant to try their Cloud Paint. Don't get us wrong -- we're suckers for their paint tube packaging, but our oily skin is what steered us away.
